H.R.2 - Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, made recommended improvements such as addressing the legal gray area of whether delta-8 and other hemp-derived intoxicants are defined as "industrial hemp". Provisions of the 2018 Act explicitly legalize the possession of cannabinoids that are naturally occurring constituents of hemp, but it does not impact the control status of synthetically derived cannabinoids. This created a proliferation of THC hemp-derived products in states where cannabis is legal or not, creating a parallel market. We advocated for more safety measures to be put into place and for Congress to clarify the definition of what constitutes as industrial hemp.
